The Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway is closed for cars on 1st Saturday. It is closed on the first Saturday of every month from October through May for Hike and Bike Day.

Anyone who has given the RAC drugs exam, could you please guide me how to study for the exam. I am studying from the book I got from RAPS and also have purchased and been giving practice test and using flash cards. I am also watching some FDA and EU videos available on YouTube.

Also, how much importance should be given to all the regulations and guidelines and information about countries apart from the EU and US. There are sooo many countries mentioned and it is just becoming too difficult for me to remember regulations and guidelines of all the countries all over the world. Please help and guide me about how much weightage should be given to other countries.

Just got back from a 2 night camping trip near the Redwoods around Crescent City and I wanted to share some solid food options since it was a bit difficult to find good info beforehand.

We ended up discovering two places that were absolutely worth it:

Historic Hiouchi Cafe (near the Hiouchi Visitor Center)

This spot was a lifesaver for breakfast and lunch. Super heavy portions and exactly what you want before or after a long day of hiking.

Raliberto's Taco Shop (in Crescent City) - Everything we tried was great. Tacos, tortas, burritos were what we tried, generous portions. Perfect if you are starving after hiking.

If you are camping closer to Crescent City, there are also plenty of familiar options like Denny’s, Taco Bell and for coffee Dutch Bros and Starbucks.

Hope this helps anyone planning a Redwoods trip!

I applied for H4 EAD in February 2025 (1st time - Standalone)

Expected timeline - 11 months.

I still have not received it and the inquiry date also keeps getting postponed (Got postponed 3 times).

Has anyone else experienced this?

Also someone who has gone through this but received EAD, did you take any other steps like emailing/calling USCIS or taking help from immigration lawyer?
